TBI is one of the major epidemics around the world. It
causes many deaths and disabilities every year. Blood
from hemorrhages is an important biomarker. Susceptible
Weighted Imaging (SWI) is most sensitive MRI sequence
for detection of blood. Veins and arteries undergo lot
of pressure and stress during the event of trauma. It
can easily cause a vessel wall to break down. Depending
on the type of blood vessel (Artery or Veins), recovery
varies significantly. Location and severity of the
insult also plays an important role. The main objective
of this study is to investigate the spatial relationship
between hemorrhagic bleed and different types of
vessels, e.g. veins vs. arteries, as well as its
relationship with TBI patients clinical and outcome
